Introducing the Flying Dress Photo in Athens – A Stylish Snapshot of the Greek Capital
Imagine stepping into the role of a high-fashion model, dressed in a flowing gown against the historic backdrops of Athens. That’s exactly what the Flying Dress Photo “Express package” offers—an opportunity to capture stunning images in just half an hour, right in the city’s most photogenic spots. Originally launched in Santorini, these photoshoots have now found a perfect home in Athens, combining modern glamour with ancient grandeur.
What I appreciate most about this experience is how accessible and flexible it is. You don’t need to be a professional model; the professional photographer, as well as the personal assistant, make sure you feel confident and look fantastic. Plus, the availability of children and partners at no extra cost turns this into a fun, inclusive activity for families, couples, or solo travelers wanting a memorable keepsake. Also, the fact that you get high-quality retouched photos you can use freely makes it a real value add—these aren’t just snapshots, but curated images ready to share or frame.
One potential consideration is the transportation to the meeting point, which isn’t included in the package. If you’re staying outside the city center, you’ll want to factor in how to get to the Academy of Athens, especially during busy times when traffic can slow things down. But overall, the process is straightforward, with detailed instructions sent to you well in advance, helping you prepare for your runway moment amid Athens’ historic scenery.

The Experience: An In-Depth Look at the Athens Flying Dress Photoshoot

The Setting: Athens’ Most Iconic Backdrops
The two locations chosen for this photoshoot are thoughtfully selected to best showcase Athens’ blend of history and natural beauty. The Academy of Athens, with its grand neoclassical architecture and marble columns, exudes a sense of timeless grandeur. It’s the perfect setting for shots that feel both elegant and elevated, especially if you’re aiming for a classical, almost mythic vibe. The National Garden, on the other hand, offers a lush, green contrast—more romantic and relaxed, with plenty of natural light and foliage to soften the scene.
From what I gather, most travelers find that the choice of location really depends on your personal style and the kind of images you want. If you love the idea of standing before marble columns with a touch of ancient Greece, the Academy is your spot. For a more natural, enchanting look with greenery and flowers, the Garden wins hands down.

The Details of the Photoshoot: What to Expect
In just 30 minutes, you’ll be guided through a series of poses by your photographer. The photographer, who specializes in flying dress photography, knows how to make you feel comfortable and radiant—an important factor since the camera can be intimidating if you’re not used to it. The creative guidance helps you achieve natural, flattering poses, whether you’re a seasoned model or a first-timer.
A personal assistant is also on hand to help make the dress “fly,” adding a touch of theatrical flair to your shots. This assistant ensures the dress looks dramatic and beautiful, capturing those iconic billowing moments that make flying dress photos so striking. The dress selection is quite broad, so you can choose something that matches your personality or style, whether it’s romantic, fun, or sleek.
The Photos: Quality and Delivery
You’ll receive eight color-corrected images within two weeks, giving you a variety of options to choose from. The three high-end retouched photos will be polished and ready within 25 days, perfect for sharing on social media or printing as souvenirs. All images come with unlimited usage rights, meaning you can use them freely—on your personal website, Instagram, or even for a special gift.
Several reviews praise the “professional photographer with skills in flying dress photography,” noting how they managed to bring out natural, relaxed expressions while also capturing the dramatic movement of the dress. It’s clear that having someone experienced in this specific style makes a difference.
The Practical Side: Costs, Timing, and Logistics
At just 30 minutes, this experience is quite brief but well-paced. It’s a perfect add-on if you’re short on time but still want to do something memorable and visually stunning. The cost is reasonable when you consider the quality of photos you’ll take home, especially given that all images are high-resolution and usable indefinitely.
While transportation isn’t included, the meeting point at the Academy of Athens is central and reachable by foot or public transport if you’re already exploring that area. The flexibility of reserve now, pay later, and full refund if canceled 24 hours in advance makes booking convenient and low-risk.
